Application Process

Application may be made at any time during a calendar year.

Attach an employee roster file (Microsoft Word or Excel) of the employees eligible for certification for the company or the designated

The information submitted regarding actual numbers of employees and certified staff will be held in strict confidence and not made public.
The BIAA/ACBIS staff will only use this information to determine Alliance eligibility.

The Reality of TBI

Bridgette Brown

"So September 17, 2017, was a day that I will never forget. They shot Michael in the left side of his head."

Bridgette Brown was traveling when she received a call from her mother. "They shot Michael," she heard. Michael, her 20 year old son, had called his grandmother
to tell her he'd been shot. It was September 17, 2017, and she had no idea how much life would change after that call.

"When I finally got to see my son, his head was twice the normal size," Bridgette remembers. "His left eye was hanging out of its socket. He was in a coma."

Just one year later, Bridgette sat down with us to share her family's journey on camera. From the chapel of TIRR Memorial-Hermann in Houston, and later
the TIRR Brain Injury Rehabilitation gym, Bridgette and Michael shine a light on life after brain injury.
